Chef Fu was the current housekeeper/butler, who had been caring for the old man diligently, never failing the slightest.
He also knew the old man very well. He was happy to see him in good spirits, and he was also delighted for the Fu Family.
The Fu Family would no longer just be the two Fu gentlemen in Dangui Garden; there would also be a lady.
At noon, the old man really ate the entire bowl of rice, which made Father Fu, who had not been home for a long time, amazed. He said to the housekeeper, “Da Zhu, my dad’s appetite has been really good recently, not bad.”
“Ever since he found his granddaughter, his spirit and appetite have risen day by day. Today’s appetite was like when he was 70 years old.” The housekeeper replied with a smile. Although he was a housekeeper, he did not have the slightest sense of restraint in the Fu Family; they were really all like a family.
Father Fu was forty-eight today, younger than the housekeeper by a year.
“That’s good, that’s good, Luckily we have you to take care of my dad when I’m not at home. After my daughter comes back, let her help you a little.” Father Fu always mentioned Ye Jian, which showed that he kept thinking of Ye Jian.
Ye Jian had never slept this soundly before. Although she had only been back home twice, the feeling of the home had made her feel no stranger, as if she was born here and grew up here since she was a child.
She slept until it was 5 o’clock in the evening. If Xia Jinyuan hadn’t called her, she would have been able to sleep until nighttime.
“Still asleep?” Xia Jinyuan, who was already up, was walking along the playground wearing short shorts and a top. There were soldiers on the other side of the playground doing obstacle training in the afternoon. The sun had peeled their skin off their shoulders.
It was normal for soldiers in the army to be exposed to the sun for a long time, thus causing their skin to peel off.
In the past few years, Xia Jinyuan also had his fair share of peeled-off skin at his shoulders and back.
Ye Jian was still lying on the bed. She didn’t immediately get up. When she heard Xia Jinyuan’s voice, she smiled naturally and softly between her brows, “Yeah, your phone woke me up.”
“Then you have to thank me for waking you up. You still have classes tomorrow. You have to fly back to school tonight. You should get up.” Xia Jinyuan laughed; his face had a touch of sunlight as if he was bathing in the sunlight, “Did you apply for medicine at your instep?”
Instep?
It was only after he reminded Ye Jian that she remembered that she had scratched her instep.
When they rescued the four scientists, they sat in the back seat to stabilize their bodies and had to hook the front seat with the back of their insteps, and at that time, she was a bit too hard and scratched her left instep.
Lifting her feet directly from the quilt and exposing her slender and fair legs, she saw a thin layer of dark brown scabs formed on the broken skin. But it was not a big problem.
“I’ll apply some ointment later; other than that, I’m fine.” Ye Jian stood up while talking. Xia Jinyuan heard the rustling sound that sounded as if she was wearing clothes.
With a dim look, he walked to the side of the playground and asked lowly, “Did you miss me? Hmm?”
…
Turning the phone on and hands-free, Ye Jian, who was wearing her trousers, blushed when she heard the words. She raised her head and looked towards the door of the bedroom with a guilty conscience. At the same time, she threw herself onto the bed to grab her phone, without even wearing her pants, and turned off the speaker.
The wooden canopy bed let out a soft “creak” sound when she rushed over. Xia Jinyuan heard the sound, and his handsome eyes narrowed thoughtfully, and then he chuckled, “Are you shy? Or is it that you miss me so much that you want to break into my room and appear in front of me?”
“I prefer the latter. But you don’t need to come to me. I can drive over and see you right away.”
